Today EMILY’s List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed six new outstanding women leaders in Ohio. They join candidate for Secretary of State Nina Turner and candidate for Treasurer Connie Pillich, who were endorsed by EMILY’s List last year.

· Sharen Neuhardt, Lieutenant Governor
· Sandra Williams, State Senate District 21
· Christie Bryant, State House District 32
· Michele Lepore-Hagan, State House District 58
· Gigi Traore, State House District 11
· Jill Miller Zimon, State House District 12

In via e-mail (press release for those who need everything spelled out wink): Anita Lopez earns the Emily List endorsement for mayor and from experience you don't get an endorsement unless you have the same beliefs as the supporting organization. Normally you have to fill out a long survey that goes on file with the organization talking about the issues the organization hold dear. If beliefs line up, they give you an endorsement.

Remember the Constitution? Remember how we were all supposed to have the freedom to pursue our religious beliefs? That freedom went away with the advent of Obamacare.

Hobby Lobby, a company owned by a Christian family, filed a lawsuit challenging the Obamacare mandate requiring the firm to provide their employees with insurance coverage for the morning-after and week-after birth control pills. Although the Hobby Lobby owners indicated they supported other forms of birth control, these two pills were analogous to abortion, which the owners oppose.

As has been the case with the liberal judicial system, the court ruled against Hobby Lobby.

So companies no longer have the freedom to decide what benefits they offer to their employees--even if they are paying for it. Obama has rendered our Country unrecognizable. How any Christian could have voted for this man--well, it would have required a big dose of rationalization (or a skin-color trumping).

Here's an excerpt from and excellent article on Hostess- Ripplewood's foray into Hostess was partly enabled by Collins's connections in the Democratic Party. He wanted to explore deals with union-involved companies and sought the help of former congressman Gephardt, who in 2005 founded the Gephardt Group, an Atlanta consulting firm that provides "labor advisory services." In his 2004 presidential bid, Gephardt -- whose father was a Teamsters milk truck driver -- was endorsed by 21 of the largest U.S.

The following is a narrative describing the suspicious circumstances relating to non-profit entity CaliforniaALL (FEIN Number 51-0656213), Ambassador Jeffrey Bleich, United States Department of Justice's Tony West, Department of Housing and Urban Development's Ophelia Basgal, California Attorney General Kamala Harris, James Brosnahan of Morrison & Foerster, and Chris Young of Keker & Van Nest.

Maybe it was a teacher, or a taxpayer who gave you $21 million in grants and credits, but you didn't do it yourself.................The Amonix solar manufacturing plant in North Las Vegas, heavily financed under an Obama administration energy initiative, has closed its 214,000-square-foot facility 14 months after it opened.

Officials at Amonix headquarters in Seal Beach, Calif., have not responded to repeated calls for comment this week. The company today began selling equipment, from automated tooling systems to robotic welding cells.

Don't let people tell you that Obama doesn't know how to create jobs. As an example, Obama distributed $9 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund solar and wind projects that created 910 "direct" jobs.

Now those anti-Obama slugs might say, "Wow, that's $9.8 million per job created." Well, you teabagging losers--that's not counting the 4,600 "indirect" jobs that were created. Let's see: 910 + 4600 = 5,510 divided into $9 billion--that's only $1.63 million per job. See--if Obama had an additional $100 million he could create another 61 jobs!

So who is behind this so-called "grass roots" effort called Occupy Wall Street? A simple search shows that a fat cat, rich Canadian socialist and megalomaniac is the puppet master of the usful idiots. And as usual, the Socialists in America are flocking to their new owner.

You can look up the information yourself. Check my work, please. Make yourselves even MORE useful idiots.

I was not sent this directly, but wanted to publish it here. I am a happy customer of Tireman service centers. The local company's tire prices are very competitive and they back their warranties. I know this from the experiences I have had.

Toledo, Ohio ‑ The Toledo Area Regional Paratransit Service, TARPS, already is the nation’s second fastest growing transit service specifically for persons with disabilities and the fastest growing such service in Ohio. Plans and activities in place will advance this heavily used service even more.

Toledo, Ohio ‑ Changes reducing the Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority’s service by 12 percent have been approved by the TARTA Board of Trustees’ Routes and Schedules Committee. The changes will take effect on Sunday, December 27.

“No organization providing a vital public service wants to reduce its offerings; but, in TARTA’s case, we had no choice,” said James K. Gee, TARTA’s General Manager. “If we want to continue delivering service to our nine member communities, we have to cut service. It’s as simple as that.”
